This post appeared on my blog almost five years ago! It’s so yummy and still one of my favorites so I updated it with new photos to share again with you all since it is probably new to many of you!

I originally got the recipe many years ago for these Pumpkin Pie Dessert Squares from my mom. I have made it many times over the years for parties, teacher luncheons and other events. Every time I make it, it’s a HUGE hit! They are really easy and if I had my way, I’d be making this dessert a lot more often.

If you love pumpkin like I do, make a plan to bake some of these up to share with your friends and family at Thanksgiving or other holiday. I cut mine into smaller bars and we had them like finger food. But you can cut them into bigger squares
